Taotao Hellcat downtown L.A.

Saw a red Hellcat today cruising down Spring St. in downtown L.A. early this afternoon. Stopped at 6th; I was going to run out and see if the rider is already a member, but there are so many crazy people walking in and out of traffic in downtown, I didn't want to scare the guy...

I'm going to be in LA this week. I'll keep my eyes peeled! That's pretty cool that these bikes are infiltrating even super strict California.

China bike sightings are always a good thing! A Red Hellcat is just too cool not to see!

Where in this forsaken city are you going to be? Heck, maybe you want to help me deliver food on a scooter this weekend; I'll let you ride the Honda Metro!!

I was staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Highland! Right near the walk of fame, and that sketchy looking pizza/market place with the subway. I spent Monday in LA at the convention center, Tuesday in Santa Monica near the airport, and today I was at a pig processing plant in Vernon and drove back to Phoenix straight from there. Sorry Culcune, as much as I would have liked to get together, it was an absolutely slam packed trip for me.

Oh, that narrows it down to about 1,123 places it could have been!
